Lynda rarely included the song during her 1999-2000 tour. Originally the mid-tempo ballad was scheduled to be the first single from her album "Mi Día de la Independencia" in early 1999, but due to the record label's decision, "No Quiero Verte", written by Alissa, was chosen instead, which became a huge success all over IberoAmerica.[55][56]

The success of her 1999 album, would prolong its promotion over two years.[59] Lynda also recorded in Argentina an special acoustic version of the song for MuchMusic Latin America, due to the prolonged success of the single and its music video, "Corazón Perdido" remained on the charts of IberoAmerica since its release in 1999 to early 2001.[60][61]

In 2000, Lynda launched officially the mid-tempo ballad "Ahí Estare" (I'll Be There); first, the single won a lot of airplay on the radio in 1999, but due to the prolonged success of her previous singles, the official release of "Ahí Estare" was delayed about one year. Then, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during her "1999-2001 Mi Día de la Independencia tour", Lynda made an acoustic version of "Ahí Estare" (alongside Corazón Perdido), for MuchMusic, this, because the single achieved great success in South America, however in Mexico, the song was little-known.

She also worked in the TV ad campaign for Sabritas snacks company, with an adaptation of her hit single "Corazón Perdido".[33]

Then, came out an acoustic single called "Voy A Seguir" (I'll Go Ahead) written by the then-unknown musician Leonel García, initially, the song was played on the radio repeatedly in 1999, later in 2000, it became a big hit, but, it was surpassed strongly in sales and popularity by the next single "A Mil Por Hora".[62][63]

In the year 2000, Lynda Thomas was involved in the production of a telenovela with the title Primer Amor: A mil por hora a remake of the 1987 smash TV-hit Quinceañera. She was hired to perform two musical theme songs for the teen melodrama, "Laberinto" and "A Mil Por Hora" (A Thousand Per Hour).

A Mil Por Hora, is an alternative rock track, which was released in September of the same year, it became a number one hit in several countries from IberoAmerica, including Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay and Chile during the years 2000 and 2001, "A Mil Por Hora" remained more than seven months at the top of the charts. While Lynda Thomas was performing live at Festival de Viña Del Mar held in Chile, in February 2001, A Mil Por Hora was still remaining at number one.[64] The song was the eighth single from her 1999 album "Mi Día de la Independencia" and the first single from Mi Día de la Independencia Edición Especial.

The music video for "A Mil Por Hora" was filmed in 35 mm and was one of the most showed videos in the early 2000s all over Ibero-America due to the 2003 Brazilian re-released. The single sold over 500'000 units in Ibero-America and won a Gold certification,[53] it also was included in the "A 1000 X Hora" EP, the Primer amor... a mil por hora OST and the 2000 international edition of her 1999 album Mi Día de la Independencia. The successful single "A Mil Por Hora", inspired the 2005 song "Responde" by actor and singer Diego Boneta, which also became a smash hit in several countries around the world and became the biggest hit single by Diego until 2014; the song was influenced by "A mil Por Hora" musically and in its lyrics, as well as in its promotional music video.[7][65]

Actually, Lynda had a brief appearance on Primer Amor: A mil por hora, in one of the last episodes, in which, Lynda helps to raise funds to the characters of Anahí and Ana Layevska, for their high school graduation, Anahí and Layevska sang alongside Lynda "A Mil Por Hora" a cappella.[66]

Lynda also continued her extensive "Mi Dia de la Independencia 1999-2000 tour" that included an acclaimed performance in front an audience of 110,000 people, in the 2001 Mexican Telethon, celebrated at Estadio Azteca in Mexico city, in benefit of children with some disabilities and terminal diseases; she also had a major participation at the 2000 Chilean telethon, held in Santiago, Chile.[67]

Lynda also worked as a fashion model for the Italian fashion house Armani by Giorgio Armani in the early 2000s.[68]

2001-2002: Incursion into new musical genres and setting new musical trends - "Polen" - New image and musical maturity, sudden and unannounced retirement

In 2001, the world saw a new album titled "Polen". It was oriented to the acoustic rock, folk rock, alternative rock, Pop punk and Brit-rock music style, the last album by Lynda Thomas was a predecessor and pioneer in the alternative-rock international teen music scene, it was even released a year earlier that artists such as Avril Lavigne debuted in the music scene or months before Pink released Missundaztood. It also would be a fundamental musical and public image reference for the teen idol Belinda Peregrín.[69][70][71]

"Polen" counted with the participation of the American musician Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and production, who worked before with artists such as Frank Zappa, Megadeth, Duran Duran and several Jazz musicians.[72] The album went to number one in Mexico and other countries. It included 11 songs, most of them written by Lynda Thomas herself. This album included several singles including "Lo Mejor De Mí" (last number one), "Para Tí", "Polen (Todas Las Mujeres)", "Ay, ay, ay", "Mala Leche",(it also was the last music video made by Lynda) and "Estoy Viva". At the time, Polen was certified Gold and Platinum in several countries. [12]

Shortly before, that "Polen" was released, on Sunday, February 25, 2001, at Festival de Viña Del Mar held in Chile, Lynda was selected as a member of the internacional jury; Viña Del Mar is considered the biggest and most important musical event in the Americas, she also had an acclaimed performance and received positive reviews by critics and audience in the main day of the festival, she performed her latest hits (including "No Quiero Verte" and "Corazón Perdido") from her successful album "Mi Día De La Independencia", which was still remaining after about two years in the top of the charts in Ibero-America with nine singles released since 1999.[51][67]

The first single from "Polen" was the international Semi-acoustic alternative punk-rock track "Lo Mejor De Mí" (The Best Of Me), which was written by Lynda Thomas herself, it was the last Ibero-American number one hit for her; at the time, she was going through many personal, labor and family problems, nevertheless, she became an activist against environmental destruction, addictions to drugs and alcohol, animal abuse, violence against women and child abuse; a music video was filmed in Mexico city for the song, it was about a female Secret Agent who works for the U.S Embassy in Mexico, the promo clip was directed by Pedro Damian. The song also had an acoustic version, which was performed live during her last tour in 2001 and 2002, including a massive performance at the 2001 Mexican Telethon held in Estadio Azteca. Both, the social awareness and musical proposals by Lynda Thomas was not well received by the mainstream audience.[12][5]

Subsequently, also in 2001, Lynda released in Argentina, Chile and Mexico an ambitious and innovative Funk-Alternative metal single called "Polen (Todas Las Mujeres)" (Polen - All Women), a theme dedicated to the human rights of all women, the song talks about gender discrimination, child sexual abuse, poverty or domestic violence, however, instead of receiving positive criticism, Lynda received harsh criticism and poor airplay due to the social complaints of the song and because the audience at the time, were not used to the thematic and rhythm of the single. In the rest of Ibero-America, the single was officially released on April 11, 2002.[73] Vinnie Colaiuta collaborated on drums and the co-production of the track; the song was influenced musically by Led Zeppelin (Immigrant Song) and Faith No More (Epic), mainly.[6][74][75]

Meanwhile, Lynda also was the host alongside Colombian rock-singer Juanes at the first original edition of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards LatinAmerica, held in Santa Monica, California, in 2001; this aired one hour before the American version of the awards.[76]

Then, Lynda released her third single from "Polen", an alternative-rock song called "Estoy Viva" (I'm Alive), written and produced by Lynda Thomas herself and recorded in Los Angeles, California. It was officially released as a psychical single in 2001; the song showed Lynda in a new musical facet, influenced by the Brit-pop and the Seventies punk rock, the song was one of the most personal songs for her; it had a lack of commercial promotion and poor airplay, due to the bad relation of Lynda with her record label and because at that time, such musical genre was not yet marketed among mainstream audiences; however, the song would become a musical reference for later pop and rock teen-idols in Ibero-America and others parts of the world. One year later that "Estoy Viva" was released, this musical style made its commercial breakout with new singers such as Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson or Pink. Lynda wrote the song at a time of deep depression.[77][78][79][80]

Still in 2001, Lynda continued releasing uncommercial singles, even though her record label was against the decisions of Lynda Thomas, her fourth release from "Polen", "Ay, ay, ay", is a Andalusian-Flamenco Folk rock track with others folk arrangements from Spain. The song was written by Lynda Thomas herself and was inspired and based on the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair" ("Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada") by the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, which was published in 1924; the World-music theme "Ay, Ay, Ay" was a commercial failure in Ibero-America, except in Spain, Chile and Portugal, where the song obtained a moderate airplay and had a promotional tour in such countries. The song (like most of her singles) had no promotional video.[81][82]

Subsequently, Lynda launched the alternative rock song "En El Anden", only as a promo single, the track was a collaboration between Lynda and her sister Alissa Rosangel, who was a recurrent collaborator and composer throughout the whole Lynda's career, Vinnie Colaiuta was on drums, the track had a minor airplay, however, the single became an underground classic song for Lynda Thomas, since her retirement, although at the time the musical genre of the song was not according to the mainstream audience and was panned by critics.[83]

In late 2001, Lynda released at the request of her record label the teen pop-rock single Mala Leche (Cheater), for this single, Lynda recorded what would be her last music video in her career, it was filmed in February, 2002, and was released in March in the rest of Ibero-America. It became a top three hit all over Ibero-America. At the time Lynda was suffering from Bulimia, but still, she continued with her extensive tour in Ibero-America.[84][85]

Later, in 2002, lynda was the host on the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and performed an extensive tour, which would be the last one.[86]

She also released what would be her last single in her career as a singer, "Para Ti" (It's For You), a semi-acoustic song that reached Top ten in various countries. The single did not have any promotional video, due to personal and contractual problems of Lynda. The song written by Lynda, talks about "the nostalgia of lost love". The acoustic theme "Para Ti", was the last song that Lynda performed live in her career; it happened in May, 2002.[87]

When Lynda Thomas had finished the promotion of "Polen" and its promotional tour in mid-2002, the Adult contemporary ballad "Amar Así" written by Lynda herself, was scheduled to be the last official single of her album, but, it never was released, despite, the mid-tempo ballad obtained a moderate airplay on the radio; the song was one of the most personal for Lynda and talks about an impossible love; "Amar Así" had no video and never was performed live, it became one of the last songs by Lynda played on the radio, shortly before she suddenly left the music scene and public life.

A new world music-alternative rock album in English language by Lynda, which had already been finished, was originally scheduled for release in 2003 for the English-speaking and international markets, but due to disagreements with her record label, and her retirement, the album never was released.[13][71][9][79]

Retirement, legacy and influence on others artists

At the time that her last single "Para Ti" was released, Lynda Thomas declared that she was happy, with intentions of reaching the whole world with her music and her messages of social and ecological awareness, she said "I don't want to be remembered for scandals, love affairs or the money i make or spend", but she also stated: "Sometimes, i want to drop everything and send it to hell and go to a desert island to live with whales or get a job at a zoo in Africa and never again see the TV news or reopen a newspaper". Later time, Lynda left the music scene without notice. Most of people believe that Lynda is dead, because she opted to live her life in anonymity, away from the media and also due to several false information about her eating disorders and supposed death.[88][89][7][37]

Besides, in 2002, EMI was giving little support to Lynda's career, also due, in part, that the record label and Arturo López Gavito, were fully focused on new singers from musical reality shows. Lynda said that such shows are just business that have nothing to do with music. Moreover, since 2002, the music industry was changing in its entirety, and also, the musical preferences of the audience, Lynda said she respect all music genres, but, she did not agree with most of new overmarketed singers and music at all, because of that (and other reasons), Lynda quit her record label and left the music scene.[5] Lynda also said she hates stereotyped singers (queen of pop, princess of pop, teen queen..) and many new singers who only sell her body image, scandalous behaviours and misplaced statements.[9][90][19]

In 2002, she retired temporarily to begin recording her new world music album in English language, but in 2003, she retired indefinitely as a singer, due to unknown reasons, personal and legal problems with her record label EMI MUSIC, Lynda had to pay an unknown amount of money to break free from her contract, because she had a contract for three more albums. She later continued her career as a song-writer, producer and devoted herself to charity work and animal protecting.[7][9][91]

Lynda has been considered a pivotal artist and pioneer in the teen music and pop scene in Ibero-America, artists such as Natasha Dupeyrón, Natalia Lafourcade, Belinda Peregrín, Paty Cantú, Maite Perroni, Eiza González, Anahí, Irán Castillo, Paulina Goto, Dulce María, Danna Paola, Myriam Montemayor, Litzy Domínguez and Ximena Sariñana among many others have been influenced by her legacy; for instance, the influence of Lynda in the career of Belinda can be seen in the early work of such singer, mainly in her smash hits Lo Siento, Ángel and Boba Niña Nice from her 2003 debut album Belinda. Belinda Peregrín made her musical debut as "Belinda" more than two years after that the last album of Lynda ("Polen") was released.[4][92][93]

Career as song-writer and producer (2002-present)

After the release and promotion of her fourth album, Lynda Thomas took a long hiatus from the music arena, she started writing and producing songs for the globally successful teen pop band RBD, which was composed of the six lead actors from the teen series Rebelde.[94]

She also wrote musical themes for many others Soap operas, including the teen drama Clase 406 with the songs "Jamas", "Vete" and "Jeroglifico" among others.[9]

Meanwhile, according to "Rebelde" the official magazine for RBD, Lynda worked in the first five albums of the band, she also wrote the songs "No pares" (which won the Latin Song of the Year of the Orgullosamente Latino Awards), El Mundo Detrás and Me Voy among others and directed the gospel chorus that was part of 4 songs that were included in the 2006 album Live in Hollywood. She also provided the studio vocals for several songs of the band, and according with the journalist Horacio Villalobos and others press publications, she provided the lead studio voice for many hits of RBD, including the Ibero-American number one hit "Sálvame" (2004), under the uncredited pseudonym "Polen Thomas". Afterwards, she continued her career as composer, manager and producer of many other artists such as the teen-bands Eme 15, Uff! or Kudai among others.[4][95]

Personal life, eating disorders and charity work

Lynda has been working on environmental sustainable development projects and she has said that she hates addictions to drugs or alcohol, environmental pollution and singers who are a product of marketing and scandals in media.[14][31][96] Since her public absence, Lynda has been participating anonymously in projects about poverty, animal rescuing and other global problems. She alongside Greenpeace helped to create a Whale Sanctuary on the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, against illegal hunting, contamination and industrial waste.[27][97][98]

During the late 90s and early 2000s, Lynda suffered from Bulimia, subsequently, she declared to the Chilean and Argentinean press: "I didn't want to realize what i was suffering, this disease caused me several damages; Lynda claimed she lost large amounts of hair; she said "Weight became an obsession for me, I was wrong" "I'm now under medical treatment and working on my self-esteem, with the help of my family and close friends." Actually, in her hit single "A Mil Por Hora", she talks about this disease.[99][13][37][96][98][100]

Ibero-American Press has had speculated without reliable sources and unfounded about her personal life. Press has been publishing false information about she actually died in the mid 2000s, anorexia, residence or relationships. Since 2003 to 2013, she only has appeared one time in public life, to clarify such media speculation; it happened in January, 2005; Also, since 2003, it has been speculated about her musical return to the stages, but until 2013, never happened.[37][101][102][103]
